Merl is an art and design cooperative.

The five of us met in the graphic design program at the Rhode Island School of Design, and have collaborated on various creative projects for over six years. We’re passionate about visual design, branding, writing, and strategy, and love helping clients in the arts,  entertainment, hospitality, and social impact spaces.

We’ve worked with clients such as the Uber, LinkedIn, University of Washington, JW Marriott Hotels, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Deaf Services of Palo Alto, the Flint Institute of Music, and GBH Massachusetts. We have experience working with large technology companies, large cultural institutions, startups, publishing houses, to small businesses and boutique design studios.

Merl approaches each project with curiosity and respect. Do you share these values and want to work with us?
